they will when the time is right for fresh apps though
tick tock

You were warned about it a few years ago by people who'd been through it. You didn't listen though.

The limit would have been retained and worked, but for the greed of one foot in the grave's and profiteers....Hired Plates....that's the reason why the Trade is all over in Dundee...Not to mention...Association Leaders with one Agenda.....Their own !!!

No, you never do tell us what you support, do you?

Now why exactly is that?

Restricted numbers goes hand in hand with plate values, barons, carpetbaggers, profiteering, low drivers incomes and drivers in debt.
Do you support the following:

1 Allowing any Tom, Dick or Harry to buy/sell taxi licences?
2 Denying drivers the right to be truly self employed and keeping them dependant on owners for their living?
3 Low driver entry criteria?
4 High plate values and high rental costs.

Simple yes or no answers will do, but feel free to elaborate.
I suspect you will avoid answering.
If I'm wrong, here's your chance to tell us.

A new National Legislation needs to be implemented with proposals from the Trade on the best way forward. One Act !!!! and be rid of all the antiquated drivel that Courts and LA's struggle to understand then, bend to their own advantage..

. We need a united form of restriction a form of restriction that all LAs can sing from the same song sheet? My idea is similar to the Franchise model meets the New York way!!! LAs should charge a new apps fee of 40 grand but not to existing plate holders, LAs should then charge a plate transfer fee of 1500 quid to any plate holder who wants to transfer their plate to another. In a franchise you can pay thousands of pounds for that franchise and depending on exclusivity of an area, the franchisee can sell his franchise on for profit. With my idea existing plate holders would trade below the LAs 40grand mark, so if I invest 40grand and it doesn't work out or he gets ill ect, surely he has the right to get his investment back! If it works out and the investor retires surely he is entitled also to either get his money back or make a wee profit. My idea self restricts the market any other demand for plates the LAs allocate subject to demand. 40grand is just a figure but based on the current Edinburgh value

I think I do tell people, but your ears are only open when it suits you.

I didnt get an answer why you were so anti restriction.....was it a story involving a partnership and you were sh*fted?

What is needed is a balance between supply and demand....the deregulation experiment has been an abject failure everywhere it goes.

Or do you get off on taxi drivers not earning enough money to feed their family?

If a plate achieves a value and the customer gets a decent service because of it, then in my view the value of a plate is irrelevent.

Its a question of how much graft.

We're not going to agree, the civilised way would be to accept this

Then I should thank you for finally seeing the light and becoming civilised.

Now that wasn't difficult was it?

To live in fear of de-restriction, is to live on your knees. That's what it means to be a slave. This is your civilized way CC. I'd rather take my chances on my feet.

The drivers are slaves to the“owners”, and the owners are slaves to the council, rats feeding on rats.

At least with de-restriction the trade has the opportunity to take control of its own affairs. I doubt it would happen but at least that choice would be ours.

Gary,

If you consider yourself to be a slave, thats your problem.
But I can tell you for sure that you are not, you can stop driving taxis anytime you wish.
Edinburgh city private hire would surely rent you a skoda, you would probably get a good deal after all the rubbish you have been spouting on their behalf.

You are just [edited by admin] off because you sold your plates before the prices shot up.
And now you hate to think of someone doing the same as you did, but getting more cash.
You are a hypocrite.

I was already civilised, but we aint going to agree, so whats the point in continuing ?
